Gaye Jurisich is a multi-disciplinary artist with a particular interest in the interconnections between elements and their surrounding space. Her work explores the encounters between natural and industrial materials, arranging them in mostly unaltered and ephemeral states. She is fascinated with the resulting juxtapositions and mutuality’s that arise from these encounters, often without the need for authorship or ownership.
Jurisich's work is dependent upon references that exist in the outside world, but she goes beyond the obvious and seeks to create meaning through the result rather than simply recognising the source. This approach allows her to create works that are thought-provoking and visually engaging, with multiple layers of meaning.
“For a multi-disciplinary artist with a strong back catalogue, Jurisich’s work is detailed, precise and wild all at once, with her installations and sculptural works falling somewhere between Goldsworthy and Shiota.” Jess McNicol, 2023.
The Art Rug Collaboration.
Reinterpreting artworks through a different medium is not just about making a copy of the visual, but about capturing the essence of the work with all its layers and complexities. In this collaboration, the goal was to translate the emotional impact and depth of Jurisich's paintings into beautiful, tactile, and functional art rugs.
The collaboration between Gaye Jurisich and the designers on the creation of the Art Rugs inspired by her artworks, ‘I want to get away’ and ‘I want to fly away’ and ‘Tell me a story before I go to bed’ is an exciting example of the possibilities of collaboration across different disciplines. The resulting rugs capture the essence of the original paintings and bring them to life in a new and tactile form.
